Configurator, what he said^^^^^

 

Hi I need some information if you guys could help me.
I have a CF-19R (So i guess it's a MK4)
I'm trying to install Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on it, but it will not accept the install media.

I get past the two loading lines of windows is loading files and then I see windows icon before it abruptly reboots.
Is there some drivers i need to bake into the windows 7 iso or is a special installation method used?

 

I haven't had a problem loading the Mk4 or Mk5 (reloaded the Mk5 with 64 bit two days ago) on reloading windows onto it.

What disk and what set up are you using to load it onto the machine?

What is your full model number as shown in the bios?

 

I use a standard usb windows 7 ultimate install, that works on many machines.
Only thing I have changed is the amount of RAM and swapping the HDD with an SSD.
Model number CF-19RHRCXFN
I'll try to switch in the original amount of ram next.

Im on BIOS 4.00L11
No Recovery partition

 

That machine may not like your usb stick.

If you have another intel machine that you know that stick works on just pull the CF-19 drive, stick it in the other machine. Load windows. When it shuts down to reboot automatically just pull the drive and put it back in that machine.

I have had a few issue on some older machines M34, t7, t8 and a 28's that I had to do that too as well.

 

Identified my issue, i was being an asshat and put in way too much ram of the wrong variety.
I'm now installing Thanks for the help

 

Hope it works out for you.

 

FYI the 19 Mk4 cannot use more than 8GB RAM.
